...a quality of implementation issue. You aren't going to be able to get anything that guarantees detection and useful response to all of them - not in Fortran anyway. There is too large a variety, some of which would be impractical to recover from. Suppose, for example, that out-of-bounds array accesses had messed up the stack or other critical bits of memory; you aren't likely to be able to do much useful after that, including that it could ...

... with some existing implementations. I take your point, but it does seem to me a bit like the tail wagging the dog. I'd rather see the ideas thrashed out even if adoption proves to be unpopular or impractical or if a compromise has to be reached. Ah. Now I'm with you. I was thinking of it in the context of getting everyone to agree to do the same thing, which is rather different. :) : execute-parsing-file ( ...

I'd rather see the ideas thrashed out even if adoption proves to be unpopular or impractical or if a compromise has to be reached. Systems such as you describe presumably rely on the input source spec being on top of the rstack when the end of an included file is reached. So ...

...? You really have no clue do you Other people manage to cycle in hilly areas, that is what the gears are for. Your point? Those that want to cycle are more than welcome to. Not only would it be totally impractical for Boltar and many others, but a bicycle just isn't reasonable transport for many journeys. My guess is you are too lazy to cycle, like many motorists. My guess, no, knowledge, is that you're a selfish old ...

... The distinction makes sense (to me). If you set a pointer to point to a nonpointer protected target, you would have just opened a potential way for that protected object to be changed, possibly in contexts that are impractical for the compiler to diagnose, thus subverting much of the point of the protected attribute. But when a pointer is used as the data-target or proc-target in a pointer assignment statement, you don't get anything ...

The drivers, who say the airport rules infringe on their religious freedom, appealed a lower court's refusal to grant a temporary injunction blocking those penalties from taking effect. The appeals court affirmed ...
